"Sure, but the hotel is closed."
Du Feng heard the two martial artists in the next room talking about going out to find excitement. But they were right, the hotel was closed and would not open again before dawn.
"What are you afraid of? Let's jump out of the window."
Everyone was a martial artist. Jumping from the third floor was indeed a piece of cake. The hotel's door was closed, but there was no rule that people couldn't jump out of the window. Even if they opened the window, it would only affect the people in their own room. The people in the other rooms would close the windows and would not be affected by the outside.
After saying that, the two of them jumped out of the window. They were quite self-aware. When they jumped out, they did not forget to close the window.
"Like I said, it's nothing. Let's go out and play."
Many newcomers stayed in the same hotel. When these two brothers jumped out, the other newcomers were also tempted. Among them, there was a pair of brother and sister who lived next door to Du Feng on the left. The two on his right had already jumped out, and the neighbor on the left could not stay any longer.
"Don't mess around. Sit down."
Interestingly, the one who was not afraid of death in the neighbor on the left was the younger sister, and the one who tried to dissuade was the older brother. The female martial artist was bold enough. She was a little unhappy after being dissuaded by her brother. Just when she was making a racket, she felt something was wrong.
Not only did she feel something was wrong, Du Feng also felt it at the same time. As long as they stuck to the window, they would feel strange. It was like a person who was sweating profusely was suddenly thrown into an ice cellar, and the hairs on his body involuntarily stood up.
"Hiss …"
Du Feng sucked in a breath of cold air. One must know that he had closed the window and specially added a few arrays. Even so, he was still affected. This kind of chill made everyone who was leaning against the window to peek could not help but shrink their necks.
"Ah! Ah! Ah … "
So at the same time, a few screams came from the street. Many martial artists, out of curiosity, hurriedly stuck to the window seam and looked out. They only saw a gust of cold wind blowing, rolling up a few pieces of torn clothes. The person who was wearing clothes earlier was nowhere to be seen.
There were also some cultivators who shrank back in fright when they heard the screams, not daring to look at what was happening outside. One of them was an exception. He felt the chill and shrunk his neck, but he never left the window and stared outside through the gap.
This person was Du Feng, and he had seen the entire process clearly. The few young martial artists on the street, including the two brothers who had just jumped out, were all stunned. It was as if he had been entangled by something. In an instant, his flesh and blood were sucked away, leaving only his clothes behind.
Judging from the clothes they dropped, one of them was wearing a good quality soft armor, but it was useless. That invisible force directly ignored their armor and crushed their internal organs. Even their bones were broken into small pieces. His skin, bones, and flesh were all absorbed cleanly. His clothes, pants, shoes, and armor were all left behind.
"Ghost, there are ghosts!"
The female Martial Artist who wanted to jump out and have fun earlier was so scared that she screamed. Her brother hurriedly closed the window and covered his sister's mouth. It was unwise to yell at such a time. If the killer had not left, they would be the first to discover it.
Huh? Du Feng suddenly heard a subtle sound coming from the window. According to the description of the store owner, the monster would disappear immediately after eating people. It would not enter the store, let alone break the window. However, he could clearly hear something climbing up. Perhaps it was because the female martial artist next door was shouting too loudly, attracting the monster over.
Really not afraid of a wolf-like opponent, but afraid of a pig-like neighbor. It didn't matter if she shouted, but it actually attracted the terrible thing. The most important thing was that the man-eating thing could not be seen with the naked eye. Du Feng was not bold enough to use his Divine Sense to detect it.
The more powerful the monster, the more it hated to be detected with Divine Sense. Once it was angered, the consequences would be unimaginable. Du Feng made a prompt decision and quickly hid in the wardrobe, closed the door, and held his breath without moving. At this time, there was no way to argue with the store owner, let alone reason with the monster. The best result was for the monster to leave quickly.
"Creak creak creak …"
The window seemed to be pushed by something a few times, but it did not open. Fortunately, there were several layers of formations, otherwise such a strong force would have pushed it open. Every time the window opened, Du Feng's heart tightened. According to this rhythm, as long as the window was opened, he would die without a doubt. Only the first night in the Cloud Capital, if he was eaten by a monster, it would be too unjust.
"Bang!"
A loud explosion, it really scared Du Feng, because a window was pushed open. But fortunately, it was not his window that was pushed open. After this explosion, he heard two consecutive screams, it really came from the next room.
Du Feng was very clear that the brother and sister next door, did not escape the fate of being eaten. In the end, it was all that innocent little sister's fault. If she did not want to go out to play at the beginning, and was persuaded by her brother to open the window and shout, she would not have fallen into this situation.
What was even more infuriating was that because of her shouting and screaming, Du Feng was almost killed. Fortunately, Du Feng was a cautious person, he did not forget to strengthen the windows along the street several times. After the screams, everything returned to silence.
In fact, most of the people in the hotel were not asleep, hearing the screams, they knew that something happened, but no one dared to come closer. After a while, there was still no movement. No one came to check the room, and no one dared to casually speak. The innkeeper and the waiters seemed to have disappeared. No one knew where they had hidden themselves.
Du Feng just stood straight in the wardrobe, holding his breath, not daring to breathe heavily. Time passed, minute by minute, second by second. This was the first time in his life that a night felt so long. In fact, after the screams, the chill also disappeared. But no one dared to move, and no one dared to try.
"Guests, you can come out now, the sky is already bright."
Until the waiter's voice sounded in the corridor, everyone knew that the night had passed. Martial artists came out of their rooms one by one, pretending that nothing happened. Some even deliberately yawned and rubbed their eyes, as if they had just woken up.
